What this President does not seem to understand is that the "deliverate destruction of human embryos" is already an accepted practice which he endorses. So you know he's twisting words around to appease the ultra right wing part of his constituency, who also, do not seem to understand that the embyos to be used are the ones being flushed down the toilet.

This Administration has flushed everything down the toilet in this country and think they are doing us a favor!

George Bush will does not care about the will of the American people. If the large majority of US citizens support stem cell research, which they do (85% in this poll), it his duty to carry out the will of the people, not his personal religous view. Not the religious view of a minority.

For him to say that destroying life (which I don't think stem cells do) is against his morality, its a joke. He's been killing real innocnet people for 4 years in Iraq. George is a hypocrit and utter failure as President.

It's not so much the oppposition to science as it is a moral question. I really dont like the precedent that it set, and the long-term policy that could be bornout of it. Sure, I think if we could find a cure for Parkinsons or some other disease, then we shoud go for it. I just dont see the need to destroy human embryos to do so... if the science is so good, find another way.

Oh yea, President Bush is the first President ever to include ANY Federal funding for it... And yes, those democrats want more...more...more.

PS: Their policy of ending corruption, I see that's going well

The irrational Republican opposition to science will be the destruction of this nation. We are surrounded by enemies and envious allies who are not constrained by religious fundamentalism and who understand the power of knowledge. George Bush apparently wants to be the President of a magical realm populated by pixies researching faerie dust. If the President continues his quest to make America the intellectual backwater of the world, we had better learn to speak Chinese.

Why compromise? This is a perfect example of what happens when a President compromises. There was NO federal funding of stem cell research before President Bush put it in the budget. But apparently this is not good enough for the Demoncrats. Now more destruction of life is required to satisfy the Demoncrats. And if you think I mispelled their name, what would you call someone votes to fund this?
